ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
IN HEAVY TRAFFIC CAR HEATED UP. STAYED HOT. GARAGE TOLD ME IT WAS A HEAD GASKET/CAM HEAD PROBLEM THAT WAS A COURTSEY RECALL FROM TOYOTA. I ASKED WHAT THAT MEANT AND WAS TOLD IF SOMEONE COMPLAINS THEY WOULD FIX IT. THIS INFORMATION MY MECHANICE GOT FROM THE TOYOTA GARAGE. WHEN I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEARLERSHIP THEY DENIED TELLING MY MECHANIC THAT AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I COULD DO. IT COST ME OVER $1,500 TO FIX THE HEAD GASKET AND CAM. NOW THE RADIATOR FAN IS NOT WORKING CORRRECTLY AND IS RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS PROBLEM. CAN YOU DETERMINE IF THERE WAS COURTSEY RECALL AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE THE MANUFACTOR STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
AS I WAS BEGINNING TO DRIVE AFTER A RED LIGHT, MY CAR MADE A HORRIBLE ROARING-LIKE NOISE. MY LOCAL MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE FRONT ENGINE PIPE AND REPLACED IT. THIS WAS ON APRIL OF 1999. IN AUGUST OF 1999, AS I WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM A CAR WASH, THE CAR BEGAN MAKING THE SAME NOISE. I TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FRONT ENGINE PIPE. I AGAIN HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. SINCE THE ORIGINAL INCIDENT, THE CAR NOW ALSO MAKES A 'WHIRRING' NOISE EVERYTIME I ACCELERATE.

#708680July 16, 1999
LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
FAILURES ON HOOD SUPPORTS STARTED IN 1993 AND HAVE FAILED SOLID EVER SINCE THEN, CALLED TOYOTA NATIONAL NUMBER, AND THE RECOMMENDATION WAS EITHER TO BUY BOTH NEW SUPPORTS (THEY ARE VERY EXPENSIVE), OR FIND SOME AT THE JUNK YARD! NO OWNERSHIP HAS BEEN TAKEN BY THE TOYOTA CORP FOR THESE COMPONENT FAILURES. I SEE THAT YOU HAVE DONE AN INVESTIGATION NHTSA #PE96040. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE INVESTIGATION REVEALED. YOUR CUSTOMER COMPLAINT FILE ON THE TOYOTA CAMRY MUST HAVE AT LEAST 50 COMPLAINTS ON THESE COMPONENTS, WITH AT LEAST SEVERAL INJURIES TO THE CUSTOMER. IT DOESN'T SEEM REASONABLE FOR CUSTOMERS TO HAVE TO KEEP THE HOOD UP WITH STICKS, TOOLS, OR ANY MAKESHIFT OBJECTS ON THIS EXPENSIVE AN AUTOMOBILE! THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD! THE HOOD ON THIS CAR COULD GIVE YOU A SEVERE CONCUSSION AT THE VERY LEAST. I AM JUST GETTING READY TO TAKE A LONG TRIP AND AM DETERMINED TO FIX THIS HAZARD ONE WAY OR ANOTHER BEFORE I LEAVE. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE MILEAGE, I DON'T DRIVE THIS CAR VERY MUCH, WITH JUST 14,000 MILES AND 7 YEARS OWNERSHIP. I THINK TOYOTA CORP SHOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM THEY HAVE BEEN IGNORING, AND FIX THIS SAFETY HAZARD! *AK
